About this listen
For the past five years, she has been grown slowly as part of a mixed organic/synthetic family. She knows very little about her android mother’s past, so when her grandmother arrives and attacks them, young Amy wastes no time: she eats her alive.
Now she’s on the run, carrying her malfunctioning granny as a partition on her memory drive. She’s growing quickly, and learning too. Like the fact that in her, and her alone, the failsafe that stops all robots from harming humans has stopped working… Which means that everyone wants a piece of her, some to use her as a weapon, others to destroy her.

Critic reviews
Was entertaining enough for a story that, with a mild degree of tongue in cheek, could be described as "a 'quiverfull' guy and a bleeding heart girl battle a strong, separatist woman."
Liked the voice talent.
Entertaining, but could've been more.

The prose and structure makes it very hard to keep with the story, and the main characters feel a little shallow or incomplete.
I understand the main character is very young, but she lacks curiosity, personal development, personality and consistency, I found myself not really engaging with her on an emotion level.
In a similar way the story does not have enough progression or development, I found that often the same story paths were tread, or scenes seem to end without any resolution for characters or narrative.
The performance is also a little 'flat' as if the narrator also does not know where to put the emotional beats, which honestly I understand the story gives not clue, but some almost ironically 'robotic' narration does not help.
I see why it sort of middling quality
